 | | The Old Man of the Mountain, also known as the great stone face, was a series of five granite cliff ledges on Cannon Mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, USA that, when viewed from the correct angle, appeared to be the jagged profile of a face. |
 | | The writer Nathaniel Hawthorne also used the Old Man as inspiration for his short story called "The Great Stone Face," first published in 1850, in which he described the formation as "a work of Nature in her mood of majestic playfulness." |
 | | 1986 - Vandalizing the Old Man was added to the Criminal Mischief law, making it a misdemeanor for any person to vandalize, deface or destroy any part of the Old Man. Such person would be fined between $1,000 and $3,000, and have to make restitution to the state for any damage caused. |
